history
Today's railway line was built as the Tarnopol – Kopyczyńce local railway, which was operated by the East Galician Local Railways Joint Stock Company . The line was opened on November 25, 1896 with a length of 72.547 kilometers, the line was licensed on January 23, 1894.
After the end of the First World War , the railway came under Polish rule and was now served by the Polish State Railways (PKP), in 1939 the Stanisławów - Pałahicze - Tłumacz / (Czortków - Tarnopol) line had the timetable number 425.
Due to the occupation of eastern Poland by the Soviet Union shortly after the start of the Second World War in 1939, the line came into the possession of the Soviet railways , which immediately began to re-gauge individual lines, but this was reversed and the lines after Germany's attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 subordinated to the Eastern Railway . The line Stanislau - Palahicze - Czortkow - Tarnopol got the number 535a ,.
The end of the Second World War brought Eastern Poland to the Soviet Union and under the leadership of the Soviet railways all standard-gauge railways were switched to broad gauge, since then the line has been in broad gauge.
